I have now got 4 rods with broken tips and can't source spare tips.

Is there a thread that describes how to fit an insert or sleeve? .

meadow fishery at chester used to repair them i am not sure if they still do but may be worth a call cheers john

Bill do you mean you need to replace the tip ring?,if so David Norwich sells them in different sizes.Or you could ring and speak to someone

Neil

If the break is near to the tip, you can simply take the tip ring off, by warming it with a lighter or some such, then superglue it onto the longer section which remains.

I'm with Treetrouter part of the way, but I'd use hot melt glue, That way you can get it off again (by warming) if you need to replace it.

the definitive article for repairing rod breaks:

Rodbuilding.org - The internet's gathering place for custom rod builders

thanks
rick

Thats a great link Rick

not seen that one cheers


Gary.

Thanks but I'm pretty sure that the cost of repair would be more than the original cost of the rod. The rods were adequate and it irks me that they are just lying around when they could be used as ones to keep in the boot of the car or pass on as emergency spares for others.

That might work for a couple of them. Thanks.

Great place to start. Thanks for that

People who live in budgie cages shouldn't throw goldheads.
